Verse:
Cmaj7
You said youʼd be there till the end
Am7 Dm7
Now youʼre trying to forget
G7
Promises you never kept
Cmaj7
Like it was in my head.
Am7 Dm7
Every single word you said
G7
It was burned into my chest
Dm7
Now you just want me dead
G7
Itʼs another empty threat
Chorus:
Cmaj7
You hold me close
Am7
Just to hold me down
Dm7
You say you hate me
G7
But you need me now
Cmaj7
Youʼre outside waiting
Am7
With the windows down
Dm7
You said itʼs over
G7
But youʼre here right now
Verse:
Cmaj7
But when I wake up Iʼm alone.
Am7 Dm7
When youʼre here youʼre on your phone
G7
Iʼm deciphering your tone
Cmaj7
You said that we should take a break
Am7
Oh well
Dm7
But youʼre always at my place
G7
Maybe you just like the pain
Pre-chorus:
Dm7
I canʼt believe a word you say
G7
Thereʼs just something in the way
Chorus:
Cmaj7
You hold me close
Am7
Just to hold me down
Dm7
You say you hate me
G7
But you need me now
Cmaj7
Youʼre outside waiting
Am7
With the windows down
Dm7
You said itʼs over
G7
But youʼre here right now
F C E7 Am
Holding me down.
Bridge:
G F
One time we were happy
C
Now the walls are collapsing
E7
Two strangers just passing
Am
And itʼs too late now
F
Thereʼs no use in faking
C
Giving more than Iʼm taking
E7
If I bend more Iʼm breaking
Am
But thereʼs no way out
Outro:
G F
When you hold me close
C
Just to hold me down
E7
You say you hate me
Am
But you need me now
G F
Youʼre outside waiting
C
With the windows down
E7
You said itʼs over
Am
But youʼre here right now
G F
Holding me down
C E7
But thereʼs no way out
Am G C
When youʼre holding me down
Am Dm G C
